you have just stop all caffeinated beverage.You will go through some serious withdrawal...so you will have to go through that and it won't be pleasant. Drink lots of water or herbal tea.

Ive never participated in weight watchers but over the past 15 months as I have lost 58 lbs, I have developed the one bite rule. The first bite of anything is always the best...so when I really can't resist eating something I will eat one bite or one spoon full. this is actually enough to satisfy me without going over my…

Most of the time when things are low fat they have other things in them to make up for the fact...not necessity healthy. Anything you eat ...has carbs...when you eat something high in carbs with either fat or fiber it delays the digestion process...helping diabetics manage their blood sugar better. I use a fiber supplement…

get a protein powder , I went to my local health foods store and asked for one that the helper thought tasted good. MRM Veggie Protein powder. From there you can make your own , I use 1 cup unsweetened almond or unsweetened coconut milk, I add 1 tsp ground flax seed and 1 tsp bakers cocoa and sprinkler some cinnamon and…

almond milk does not have any cow milk in it...

Well...first of all ...it is impossible to go NO carb as fruit and vegetables all have carbs.. I am guessing your issue is portion sizes..I would get a scale and a measuring cup and start measuring your portions and logging them every day. You are probably underestimating what you are eating. Also perhaps cut your meat…

I am not eating the way you are talking about but would recommend that you stop diet coke consumption and drink water or herbal tea instead. This is from someone that was hooked on diet coke for decades. It will make a difference in your weight loss quest as the artificial sweetener in diet coke makes you want more sweets.…

I would say it depends how low is low carb /no carb by your definition since all fruit and vegetables have carbs in them. I eat two large salads a day plus steamed vegetables and beans at two meals a day. I minimize my animal protein as it is not all that good for me I've decided plus lots of fat..I don't know why you…

I think if you don't have anything positive to say don't say anything! People that are overweight know that they are overweight. They don't need someone else telling them. I think the best way to lead is by example. I've successfully lost 56 pounds this time. I've been here before...and hopefully this will be the last time…

look at the pasta package for recommended serving size. Most pasta's the recommended serving size is 1/3 cup -1/2 cup. Pasta is not your friend if you are wanting to lose weight. Empty carbs...no nutritional value ...but I have to admit I do miss my pasta...

Many people have a sensitivity to gluten ...so if you do ...eating gluten free will help you lose weight. You could eliminate gluten for 6 weeks and then reintroduce it and see if you have any inflammation issues after not eating gluten for a while. I wouldn't eliminate it from your diet for the rest of your life unless…

Some of us have to eat "low Carb" because of being diabetic...if we don't want to end up taking huge amounts of insulin and turning into obese people. I have found that I can eat low carb by eliminating processed foods and gluten , limiting fruit juices and fruit, and eating plenty of fresh vegetables. it takes a little…

try adding more fiber to your meals ...either by adding flax seed or other high fiber foods or add a fiber supplement to your meal like PGX or Bioslife slim before your two main meals . This will help you feel fuller and help control blood sugar and insulin level. Not getting too hungry to begin with helps..are you eating…

Some restaurants reserve the kids menu just for kids...why don't you just ask the waiter. I've never personally order off the kids menu. Many restaurants here in the US have healthy heart portions or senior portions. But I would rather order off the main menu and ask for potatoes or rice to be left off and a double order…

When I wake up in the middle of the night hungry I drink some herbal tea. I'm diabetic so I check my blood sugar level. If it is low ---under 80 then I will have a spoonful of peanut better or a strawberry or a piece of deli ham.

I didn't buy new clothes until all the clothes in my closet were too big. I still have 22 lbs to go so I decided not to pay retail for my transitional clothing and went instead to sales and places like goodwill . I am actually surprised how many perfect condition tops and slacks and jackets that i have found to add to my…

The hardest part for me is the plateau's ....I've lost 56 lbs since January 2012 . Have recently joined this site for additional portion control and tracking too. I'm pretty set in my routine as far as what I eat and when and my exercise consists of walking 2x a day. I am hoping with better tracking that I will be able to…

Try using a fiber supplement like PGX ..it will help you feel follow and keep your blood sugar from spiking with a big meal with lots of carbs in it. Drink more water before your meal ...that will also help you feel fuller.

I personally feel that you should stop dieting until after your surgery. So that your body has not been starved right before your surgery. eat what would be a maintenance diet for you until after you have recuperated from your surgery . Just my humble opinion. When it comes to eating more calories. I am having the same…

I think we each have to find our own path to better health and weight loss. I am 62 and hopefully this will be my last time fighting the battle to get to my goal weight. What am I doing differently this time ? Because of being diabetic and on insulin losing weight and eating right is no longer just a matter of losing a few…

how much water are you drinking and what kind of food are you eating? I personally do not believe that all calories are created equal. If you are eating fresh vegetables and a lot of fiber things go differently losing weight than if you are eating a lot of fat ( nuts) and fruit that makes your blood sugar spike up all over…

If you are diabetic it is important for you to eat at regular times consistently on every day of the week. It isn't necessary for you to have 3 fulll american type meals but it is important for you to eat every 4-5 hours. Doesn't matter what time your first meal is but your breakfast..."break" "fast" is the most important…

I was married for 25+ years to someone that went to the gym everyday and also jogged most days. he was very unhappy with my new body after my pregnancy and birth of my son and was no longer attracted to the new me. We ended up divorced - I am now married to someone that loves me for who I am not what i look like . I am…

As far as I am concerned anything that I would eat for lunch or dinner is ok for breakfast too. In fact I think it is probably our most important meal of the day. Lately I have been having a shake made with protein powder and unsweetened coconut milk , a tsp of bakers cocoa and flax seed with some nuts on the side to…

Depends what you want to track..if you are diabetic or prediabetic...tracking carbs is very important as high sugar levels can cause many complications . I eat very low carb so that I can keep my insulin dosages as low as possible. root vegetables like carrots and potatoes and all fruits and fruit juices are not my friends…

I have a digital scale that I use that can be set grams or ounces. It comes with a book that gives you codes for different foods and will give you not only the weight but calories, carbs, fiber, protein, etc. I use my scale for meats, nuts, vegetables . When I buy meats I divide up the meat into meal size servings - 8 oz…

So many things effect weight loss...stress, how you are sleeping, amount of exercise you are getting, amount of water you are drinking, Etc...sometimes you are losing inches but not weight. Sometimes you are on a plateau . This is not rocket science...of you are eating less calories that you are burning....eventually you…

Many people are diabetic or insulin resistant so need to watch there sugar intake. I'm one of those.
